Re: [Re: [Re: [Re: Insulation does not = "Warm-blooded"]]]



I'm going to very brief, because I'm only reponding informationally to a
very small non-sequitor from Jurassosaurus' email:

At a lecture about Sue, Dr. Chris Brochu mentioned that the leg injury was
the fibula, not tibia, of Sue, and as such not the primary weight bearing
bone, thus not hindering the animal's feeding to the extent previously
supposed (i.e. starvation unless other T. rexes fed Sue).

Thought it might be useful knowledge, until I reply to the rest.
